Jim Cramer is optimistic on the stock market for 2009. According to his analysis, the Dow Jones Industrial Average could produce a gain of 13.1% this year based on his predictions for the 30 components of the Dow. That’s not exactly a huge gain, but it’s also not something investors should sneeze at.
Cramer thinks 2009 will be a tough year to call because he believes it will be split into two halves: the pre-bottom in housing and the post-bottom. Cramer hopes that President-elect Barack Obama will do whatever it takes to stimulate the economy and avoid 10% unemployment for the American workforce. However, if the economy falters and unemployment breaches 10%, then Cramer’s bullish view might not play out.
Bottom line: Pay attention to unemployment and housing in 2009 because it will most likely determine the direction of the U.S. stock market.
